At-Home Laser!

​I always wanted to try an at home laser. Any type of laser treatment at an office with cost an arm and a leg. You might as well buy a personal at home device that you can get multiple uses out of. I’ve heard good things about the iluminage Skin Smoothing Laser. Similar to an IPL treatment, this device “delivers pulses of laser light right at the source of wrinkles, triggering the body’s natural response to generate collagen fibers.” I’m hoping this device will take my skin to the next level and get rid of my uneven skin tone. At hefty price at almost $600 be sure to do your research and make sure this device is right for you. I will sure be returning the device if I do not receive the results I’m looking for. In depth review will definitely be conducted in the near future.

Personal Microdermabrasion Device

I personally loved the PMD Personal Microderm tool which replicates professional micrdemabrasion treatments using aluminum oxide crystals on a spinning disc to vacuum and exfoliate the top layer of skin. I had achieved really good results at one point and had really clear skin. Unfortunately, over time I feel the effects weren’t as effective and I’m always open to trying alternatives. I hope to try the MicrodermMD machine, which mimics professional office machines, using a diamond tip and multiple suction levels to exfoliate dead skin cells and increase cell turnover to smooth and brighten the skin. I feel I would achieve more salon quality results with this device.

Hand-held Deep Cleansing Device

Clarisonic Mia Fit

If you have not jump on the clarisonic band wagon, don’t fear neither have I! I’ve never tried the clarisonic but I’ve tried other hand held cleaning devices that were much less expensive. I feel they got the job done but wasn’t worth the extra effort to set-up and use (lazy girl problems) when I could just use my hands. Perhaps, my mindset would change with the clarisonic. The device claims to cleanse your skin 6 times better than your hands and noticeably removes impurities and improves the health of the skin. I’m all for that and can’t wait to try it! I will go with the Clarisonic Mia FIT for its compact and lightweight build.

Facial Steamer

​Steaming your face helps to open and purify the pores, so once you apply you skincare products they will better absorb in the skin. I LOVE steaming my face. Not only does it make my skin feel amazing but it’s really calming and therapeutic as well. I usually just boil a hot pot of water and lean my face over it with a towel (with a few drops of essential oil inside), but now I’m tired of the hassle and want to try an actual device to see if I get better results.

Light Therapy

​Not to be confused with the at home laser (an actual zapping laser for the skin), light therapy is just a pulsating light used to benefit the skin. Blue light therapy is known to kill bacteria on the skin, which is perfect for acne sufferers, and red light therapy is known for its anti-aging purposes.

There are ample amount of light therapy devices on the market, a cheaper alternative (which can be found at Target/Walmart) is the:​Neutrogena Light Therapy mask which beams blue and red light targeted to help acne. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria while red light reduces acne inflammation.
